Has anyone made such a heat exchanger? How should it be calculated?
Thread Content
This is the first time I have seen such a heat exchanger. How should the strength of each component of this type of heat exchanger be calculated?
It is a fixed tube sheet heat exchanger. The tube side components are designed according to the tube side design parameters, and the shell side is designed according to the shell side design parameters. Please list the specific parts that cause you concerns.
It cannot simply be said to be a fixed tube sheet heat exchanger. The lower part seems to be suspended in the air, which is more like a floating head for the tube sheet. However, the stress on the vertical tube sheet is more complicated. An article has analyzed the stress on this type of tube sheet.
